Almighty God in His allwise provi-
dence has seen fit to remove from us our
beloved brother, DR.. Geo. w. Brooks.
He was born in Washington, DC, and
was graduate Of Howard University in
that city, and stood high in his profess
sion. His family now resides in Wash
ington. A great man fell when DR.. G..
w. Brooks passed away and he will be
missed here by a host Of friends. He
was buried by the Odd Fellows. He
was also mason and at some future
time it is the intention Of the masons
to send his remains to his wife. The
lodge offered the following resolution:
We, as lodge extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family and
friends. We as a lodge mourn his loss
and it is ordered that tie members of
this lodge wear Grape for thirty days
and a copy Of these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes and copy trans
mitted to his wife and family. Also
that his vacant chair be draped for
thirty days. II. g. Cary, P. n. r.; w.

we understand, their agents are doing
wonderfully well On several new lines.
They need many more agents in all
parts of the country. Those who need
profitable work should apply at once.
Women do as well as men. Experience
is not necessary, for Messrs, Stinson &
Co., undertake to show all who are will
ing to work, not hard but earnestly, the
path to large success. Itshould be re-
membered that an agent can do hand
some business without being away from
home over night. Another ad vantage
it costs nothing to give the business q
fair trial, ana an agent can devote all
his time of only his spare moments to
it. Stinson 4 Co. guarantee grand sue

full particulars will be sent free to those

Why is it that our people are so 10th
to subscribe for paper published by

five times the cost Of years subscrip-
ton during month for something not
worth half the value of good paper;
they want all of the doings and hap
penings in their community written up

their names appear they are content to

The meeting of the Colored citizens,
held in the court room last Tuesday
evening, WAS one of the most harmon
ious mass meetings ever held in this
city. ALI parties seemed to have one
object in view, and that, the promotion
of our best interests. 1t is becoming
more clearly evident to even the most
obtuse Of us, that there is but one safe
and sure road to success, in any under
taking having for it's object the better
ment of our condition on this earth, as
well as for the preparation for home
beyond this vale Of tears, and that road
is Unity, Or, in other words, we must
help ourselves. We are sorry to see
some gentlemen declining positions to
which they were elected as those who
declined, were men Of intelligence and
their familiarity with public affairs
WOulQ nave Deen OF vast Densnt TO us
in our deliberations. We hope that
none Of us will lose sight of the import
ance of the coming convention and that
those who were not selected as dele
gates will lend their assistance to the
delegates in making the proposed or
ganlzation of practical benefit to us all.
Remember the sentiment Of the call,
lin union there is strength" and let us
in this movement work together as one
man. What benefits one, benefits all,
what Injuries one, Injuries all, may we
extend our best efforts in the direction
that will lead to benefits and thus es-
cape the injuries.

In looking over the Minneapolis
Tribune a few DAYS ago, we were struck
with the truth of the following remarks
of Mr.. N. FL. Ensley, a noted champion
of the Colored People, and one who has
given much thought to the social con-
dition of his fellows:
LAS far as the new South is concerned,
there is no doubt the colored men have
improved their condition vastly in the
last few years. The most liberal mind
ed men in our section of the country
are beginning to realize the fact that
the eolored man is the equal of his white
brother intellectually and should be
treated accordingly. Warren Cowan,
judge of Chancery, Of Vicksburg, Miss,
told me that there was time when he
censcientiously thought keeping a man
in bondage was profitable, and war;
ranted by both the Bible and civil law,
and now the idea was positively repul-
sive to him. He but echoed the senti-
ments of thousands of others in our
section of the country
Il think Blaine would be the strong
est nominee of the Republican party in
the South, but during the last ten years,
notably during rs and rs, the Repub-
Hcan party failed to give adequate pro-
lection to the colored men in the South,
and naturally they are not disposed to
affiliate themselves as closely with the
party as heretofore.'
II am not a follower in the Sam Jones
style OF religion, and would under no
circumstances go to hear him. Mr..
Moody is not as popular among the col
ored men as heretofore. The impress
ion largely prevails that during one of
his recent revivals in the South he
stretched rope across the hall to
divide the colored from the white wor-
shippers. The color line might be
drawn in anything but religion, but
where you distinguish in the matter of
worship you commit a grave error"
1t would be well for many more of
our white brothers to entertain the
same sentiments as Mr.. Ensley

boy in Boston had his head cut off by

vention of Mr.. Miles come into general
use throughout the country.

FELLOW CITIZENS
Feeling deep interest in the devel-
the blessings of her lust and
liberal laws and the kindly feeling of
her best citizens, and believing IN union
there is strength, we deem it wise and
prudent that we should take some action
to advance our Industrial and civil
rights vouchsafed to us by the constitu-
ton of the United States and the stat
utas of this commonwealth. Recent de-
yelopements have demonstrated the
fact that there is a disposition on the
part of some to abridge the rights guar
anteed by the constitution and the laws
of this state. Therefore, we the Color
ed citizens of st. Paul, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby issue call for
State convention to meet in the hall of
the House of Representative in the city
of st. Paul on Monday Dec. 9TH, 1887 at
ten o'clock A. M. for the purpose of adj
vanclng our interests in these matters,
and after due deliberation to form such
an organization as may be agreed upon
having for its object the protection OF
our rights hereinbefore stated And,
for the purpose of carrying out these
provisions it is hereby requested that
the Colored citizens in the several coun-
ties of the state meet and from their
number elect the number of delegate
from each county as follows: Hennepin
Is, Ramsey 81, Washington 5, Freeborn
2, Polk 3, Rice 5, Winona6 st. Louis 4,
Steele 3, Anoka 3, Wright 2, Clay 8,
Dakota 8, Goodhue 2, Blue Earth 3.
All other counties not mentioned in the
above list are requested to send two
delegates each.
Respectfully Submitted.
